Objective: Various complications have been reported in the treatment of pediatric spinal deformities. Among these, instrument-related complications could be critical concerns and risks of reoperation. This study aimed to identify…
Objective: Previous reports of rod fracture (RF) in adult spinal deformity are limited by heterogeneous cohorts, low follow-up rates, and relatively short follow-up durations. Since the majority of RFs present…
Introduction and importance: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that appears in various organs. Neurosyphilis in the spine is infrequent, and report of failed spinal arthrodesis surgery is rare. We…
Background: The prevalence of pleural injury during surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using an extrapleural approach and the association of pleural injury with postoperative pulmonary function remain unclear. We sought…
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of one-stage posterior instrumentation combined with anterior debridement and reconstruction using allogenic strut bone for the surgical treatment of multilevel lumbar spinal tuberculosis in…
